Capers in Capri

Capri’s central square was once called the “most beautiful operetta stage in the world” (by Noel Coward).  This 4-square-mile isle in the Gulf of Naples is full of beautiful spots.  Picturesque

landmarks include the gardens of the Villa San Michele, overlooking the sea, and the Faraglioni – needle-like rocks rising from the offshore depths.

Even before the Emperor Tiberius built a series of cliff-top villas nearly 2000 years ago, this island was bewitching visitors.  Narrow lanes and tiled stairways climb the hilly, pine-scented landscape; white towns are dazzling; and don’t forget to enjoy a good Italian meal alfresco, accompanied by the island’s own flinty white wine – a veritable feast of delights!
